| Title: |
Reusable Launch Vehicle Wing Box Test |
|---|
| Description: |
A full-scale segment of a graphite-composite wing designed for reusable launch vehicle (RLV) was successfully tested to failure at NASA Langley's Structure and Materials Research Lab to determine the maximum load that the wing-box would carry and its mode of failure. This was the first structure test of a full-scale component designed and fabricated to validate the use of graphite-composite primary structure for the RLV. The test results validated the design, analysis and fabrication procedure with excellent agreement obtained between the predicted results and the experimental results |
